MityVac comparison to Bathmate

MityVac hands down the best option. I use both the 1.75" and 2" cylinder sizes almost daily for water pumping, and the gauge keeps me in check, especially after sustaining bad blisters last year. Now I watch the gauge like a hawk!
I still utilize my Bathmate Hydromax however, as it does not achieve the same high pressure the mityvac is capable of achieving. I pumped this morning with 1.75" to push my length expansion, but was short on time to finish my routine which normally ends with two pumps with the 2" cylinder before my shower warm down. Bathmate jumped in the shower with me this morning and gave me a little extra girth expansion and then I was right in to my warm down, C-ring and Silistretcher2 for the day.
I also use the bathmate as more of a maintenance tool in the shower when I feel a little over exhausted from many days of my main pumping routine, just to get the little bit of extra blood flow going instead of a complete rest day.
Just my two cents that I use them as tools with different purposes. Mityvac = Sledgehammer whereas my Bathmate = Ball Pein Hammer.

Oh man i just wrote a long answer to this but somehow i got logged out and the text dissaperead.. oh well i will try again.
Im not sure how to know if i went max pressure but im really sure i went far to hard and propably was close to max at least. The grey flexible part of the bathmate was all squished togehter and i had air on my penis since i pumped out alot of water. Guess it doesnt say much since it depens on how long your penis is but my penis was also past the measurement sticker with some cm (0,5 inch).
I have rested the last week and the lump has gotten smaller and doesnt hurt unless i pinch it. Today i tried again with the bathmate since my mitycav hasnt arrived yet (i live in sweden). This time i went much lighter and tried that thing very you do a kegel and see if your penis head fills up. I can say that this pressure was FAR lower then what i have been doing before. On the measurement sticker i was like 2,5 cm (an inch) from were i trained before.
However one bad thing is that i noticed that my lump got very dark blue and also an small area around it when i trained. After reading some about it last time i belive it is an Lymphocele but im not 100 sure. At the very first i thought it was an ingrown hair (i hade those before) and the lump has an opening in the middle just like a hairsack.. maybe the lump just is on a hairsack i dont know.. but i think maybe i should post a picture of it if i can get some tips what it can be and how carefull i should be with it?
As you can see my penis is also a bit blue/redish all over it. Is this also a sign im still going to hard? To add im also doing the SSJ in combination with the pumping. And im pressing that very hard too, so hard i get cramp in fingers.. maybe im doing that to hard too..
Tha lump is placed about half way up on the shaft.

I don't know but I can say I had the exact issue and it was an ingrown hair. Sometimes it takes a while around a week or two for it to heal. I see no signs of thrombosis or the like. I think you should go lighter for now and as you heal increase intensity but for now stay light.
I think you were caught in the middle of the data pull by the "good bots". I saw the server went a bit crazy during the time period you believe you lost your post. It's strange through. I set the auto-save for draft every 5 seconds. That must be a pretty long hang time you probably type over 1,000 words a minute there to beat the 5-second draft save setting.
You probably hit around 12inHg. The baffles gaiter all get squished around that pressure. Your balls and penis get sucked in at 24inHg.
This is around 8inHg. Good that you know the limitation on the pressure needed. Do be mindful of the crazy pressure. Once you have the MityVac, approach the pressure differently. The reason is the MityVac cylinder type is slightly different in generating the negative pressure compared to the Bathmate due to the uniform shape, in opposing the Bathmate non-uniform shape.
It's definitely a bruised impacted hair follicle. You can refer to it as a lymphocele, or you can refer to it as an induced/bruising folliculitis.
You can "pierce" it to relieve the underlaying blood pressure and remove the old blood if you know how to deal with acne, or you can allow the body to just heal naturally, which may take a week or two. Once it's there, and if you don't deflate it, it will remain a deflated cystic cavity. If another inflammation occurs, you'll see a nice infected bulge at the same spot. For me, I use the #5 surgical tweezer designed for acne to relief the underlaying blood and cystic cavity pressure. Keep the site nice and clean for a few days.
No, you're just adding more blood to a cystic cavity that's already there. You're not working hard on it. Just adding to the cavity with old ponding blood little by little. Not a good thing, nor a bad thing. Just an ugly looking thing.
Nope. SIM went up to 15inHg. His average is between 11 and 13.
I wish SIM would come back. His work was so incredible. I pray he returns soon.

As I also said to DLD, thank good for this forum and all the fantastic people here with wast knowledge of all sort of things
I am so very grateful that this lump is nothing dangerous and that you confirm what DLD also thought it to be (an ingrown hair). This lightens my heart since i was worried when the injury went so blue again direct when pumping. I will try to puncture it if i can or else i will wait and maybe not do some pumping for a while (just do make sure it goes away). I noticed i can do LM3 training without annoying the lump so maybe i will do that for some weeks and let it heal
So impressive you know all this about the pressure levels. Intresting to know what pressure i was at and lucky i didnt push it even further. I think i will wait for the mity vac to arrive before doing any more pumping work. So i can start with measured low pressure and slowly work my way up. As i only been pumping for a month i think 8 inhg is a bit to high too. I will read the pumping guides i have seen from you in other threads and pick up on a nice pressure to start with this time.
Thank you so much again for this precious information. Really made my day

I feelt it for sure! I was struggling to keep the thing on and not removing it. But I am stupid like that, I have always been able to push my self beyond what sometimes is good for you..
You should take some supplements for N.O, blood low, a little bit of antixiodants (not to stop microtauma)
We try to be in the forefront of safety when guiding the brothers. All the collected pressure information is detrimental to our penile health. This is why we tried our very best to obtain, evaluate, and provide up-to-date info on pressure data for penile health. There are many publications in the medical, urology, and biological journals to back us up as well. However, we go the distant in pooling data from all over the place to compile and evaluate what's safe and what's not. AIs are helping us tremendously in pulling such data all over the world.
This is a very wise choice and investment. We're here for your every step of the way.

This is a brotherhood for PE. We leave pride and arrogance at the door. We work together to protect our malehood and enhance it. If we cannot help each other with useful information, what's the purpose of a discussion community? That's why we are here.
Thank you so much for this answer. Im so very grateful for the huge load of knowledge that the people on this forum have and is willing to share
That's what we're here for! Brother helping Brother to get where they want to be. For me it is inspiring my Brothers to train properly and with proper intensity so they grow as fast as possible. God bless you my brother
So I have finally orderded the mity vac.
I currently have the bathmate hydroextreme 9 but i am not at all satisfed with it so I hope the Mityvac will be my rescueOne thing that really got me thinking and made me put out the money for a new pump is the safety.. I recently got a lump on the penis which i am pretty sure is a not dangerous one after reading some more and watching some pictures online.. but well it got me thinking and i checked up on some max recomended pressures for pumping.
I found out that the maxpressure on the hydroextreme is like 19 inhg (at least thats what i found online) and i think that i have almost been maxing out this pressure during my sessions even tough i have only been doing pumping for 4-5 weeksI have been ramping up the pressure so it feels very discomforting and im sweating and stuff and have very hard time (like torture) for my 5 minutes in the pump. I am that kind of person that just pushes through stuff and sometimes think you need some pain to gain.. But after reading the threads about the dangers of high pressure i was really taken aback and lucky that my lump dont seem to be anything dangerous. But it was surely a warning sign and thank good i got it in time!
Now i will only pump in the mity vac under controlled cirumstances and with much lower pressure. I actually cant believe how popular the bathmate is without any way to measure the pressure..
Things i dont like with bathmate (this will sound like im making advertising for mity vac but i promise i am not, i have not tried mity vac yet so i cant say anything about it, this is only about how bad i think bathmate is):
- No pressaure gauge.
- Too wide base, its so wide that my balls are right on the edge of the base and my balls are getting squased against the side of the pump..
- The freaking pump thing and valve! How many times have i gotten my self ready with an erection and water in the pump and then i put it on.. and the freaking valve or hand pump fall of somehow or move and pressure lost and i need to it all again!
For everyone who wants to buy a pump for the first time. BUY ONE WITH PRESSURE GAUGE! Never use one without (in my opinion).
The lump you had from pumping might have nothing to do with the bathmate. Most newbie get that lump when they first started pumping be it with a mityvac or any other pump.
From my experience, you only get that lump once.
I've coached some brothers here and a few got that lump from doing length work. But it happens mostly when working on girth.
Mine was caused by an ingrown hair. Make sure you shave very well.
